He claimed the delay was "not merely negligence but a well-thought-out conspiracy" and alleged that the accused were linked to the ruling BJP. The report noted that during the last 27 months of trial proceedings, only 21 of the prosecution's 180 listed witnesses were examined, while statements of the remaining 159 witnesses-including key witnesses Ishwar Gaur and Rajkumar-were still pending. The report added that the testimony of DNA expert, scheduled for June 18, could not be recorded for unspecified reasons and has now been rescheduled to July 2.
